Founded in 1895, the Journal de la société des américanistes is an internationally renowned academic journal devoted to the history of Amerindian cultures and societies in their totality. The originality of the JSA and the wealth of its contributions comes from its openness to many disciplines, bringing together prehistoric studies, archaeology, ethno-history, ethnology, ethno-linguistics, and more rarely sociology and biological anthropology. The JSA displays the same spirit of openness when it comes to language and it publishes works in French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, as well as Indian languages. The JSA is naturally a specialised journal but rejects disciplinary compartmentalisation. Its readership is composed mainly of anthropologists working on native American culture.

The "moving wall" represents the time period between the last issue
available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal.
Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a
publisher has elected to have a "zero" moving wall, so their current
issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.
Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.
For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year
moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available.
